set of flowers

On the way, I came across a tea shed. The operators were a couple. The couple looked almost sixty years old, but they walked steadily, and their mobility was no less than that of young people.After all the tea guests in the shed were well received, the two sat side by side on the long bench to rest for a while, chatting with each other, the old woman was always holding a rag in her hand.

Although the tea shed is old, it is considered clean and tidy under the care of the couple.There were three wooden tables under the shed, two tables were filled with people, and Hua Qianyu and his party came just after one table was gone, and the old lady got up to collect the tables, just in time to greet the new guests to take their seats.Six people sat at two tables - except Ah Jiu, who was used to sitting at the same table as the master, and the rest of the servants sat at the other table after the master took his seat.

Ah Jiu wanted to chat with An Mingxi in private, but Hua Qianyu was always clinging to An Mingxi, and they slept together at night, so he had no chance to talk at all.

"Grand..." Ah Jiu looked around and lowered his voice, "Mingxi."

An old man and a young man sat at the next table, they looked like ordinary people.

"What's the matter?" Hua Qianyu smiled.

"I'm... all right."

As Hua Qianyu expected, Ah Jiu flinched again.Although he didn't know what Ah Jiu wanted to say, but seeing how Ah Jiu deliberately avoided him, most of what he wanted to say was not beneficial to him.

Ah Jiu was not sure whether speaking bluntly in front of Hua Qianyu before discussing it with An Mingxi would destroy anything. Want him to turn a blind eye?Alas, he is just a servant, and An Mingxi doesn't need to tell him everything.

Seeing that Ah Jiu was extremely depressed, An Mingxi, who wanted to wait for Ah Jiu to propose a private chat, sighed, and said, "Ah Jiu, just say it." For Ah Jiu, accepting orders always seemed easier than proposing much.

Ah Jiu looked up in surprise, and asked, "Here?"

"Ah."

Ah Jiu reconfirmed: "Is that the thing?"

"It's okay to be straightforward, I want to hear Qianyu's explanation."

An Mingxi took a sip of tea with a calm expression, but Hua Qianyu had an ominous premonition.

"I..." Ah Jiu swallowed, "That day I heard Xiao... Yu told Le Yang that he liked Mingxi because he liked people with outstanding looks."

Since he could confront him face to face, of course it would be more reassuring for Ah Jiu to speak out - Ah Jiu is not afraid of attracting Hua Qianyu's grudge, but he cannot allow the Fourth Highness to be deceived by others.

Hua Qianyu thought carefully, picked up the memories he left aside and examined them, and then matched what Ah Jiu described with what he had actually experienced.

An Mingxi put down the cup in his hand and asked, "What's your explanation?"

Hua Qianyu sat upright and said, "I didn't say I like people with outstanding looks."

"Then what did you say?"

Hua Qianyu avoided the important and ignored it: "I said I like Mingxi's face."

"anything else?"

So, did An Mingxi also hear their conversation?

The memory of that day gradually became clear, and Hua Qianyu couldn't help feeling guilty, and his back also bent slightly with this guilt.

"I didn't say anything... Le Yang said it all."

"What did Le Yang say?"

No matter how panicked Hua Qianyu was, An Mingxi's tone seemed to be talking about something that didn't hurt or itch.

"Say... do I only like Mingxi's face?"

"Your answer?"

Hua Qianyu straightened his back again: "Yu was just joking." It seemed that he was using his whole body to defend himself.

"Don't run away from the problem."

"I said, yes..."

"anything else?"

"Nothing."

An Mingxi raised his eyes, looked at Hua Qianyu, and said a name: "Li You."

A drop of cold sweat trickled down Hua Qianyu's forehead—did you really hear that?

"It's really just a joke...Mingxi believes me..."

An Mingxi got up, got out of his seat, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

"Mingxi—"

Dong Taiyuan put down the tea money, and the servants followed the two young masters to leave, but carefully kept a proper distance from the young masters, giving them room to talk.

Ah Jiu looked at Hua Qianyu who was in a hurry to explain, recalling the Le Yang and Li You he saw that night, and thought: Maybe the young master is really just joking... well, I hope.

——After listening to the conversation of the people at the next table, the young man hurriedly gestured to the old man at the same table with his eyes, and before Dong Taiyuan and his party could go far, the two hurriedly followed...

There is no shortage of grass and trees outside the city, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, where the sandy soil in the forest that is big enough to house a big house and difficult to grow grass is especially rare.

Le Yang couldn't figure out why this place is like this.

The sound of horseshoes came from behind, and the sound of horseshoes clattered from far to near.Le Liyou, who vaguely heard the sound of someone talking and had a bad premonition, stood still; Le Yang, who was worried that he and his companions would be hit by a horse, looked back and saw four bearded men Western men.

Le Yang thought, these men should be the few tenants who stayed at the inn at night, and it was a coincidence that they could still meet at this time.

The leading man was attracted by the young lady who was looking at him boldly. He slowed down the horse gradually, looked carefully for a while, and then realized that it was unusual.

The man raised one corner of his mouth, stopped his horse's hooves, got off his horse, walked towards Le Yang, and said, "He's another young man who likes to dress up as a woman."

Hoarse voice, unique accent from Outland...

The voice close to the ear is like the curse of an evil spirit. It has been entangled since the long past and has become a nightmare that Le Liyou cannot escape.

Is it a dream?Another sickeningly real dream?But this time, he is no longer trapped in a young body, and he is no longer trapped in the powerlessness of childhood—he may be able to kill enemies with his own hands.

He made up his mind to face the evil spirit, turned around and saw the man stretching out his hand to Le Yang, he immediately took Le Yang into his arms, and at the same time turned his back to the man again, using himself as a wall to separate the man from Le Yang .

Le Yang was surprised by his sudden action, and patted him on the back lightly: "Li You..."

The man laughed heartily, and said, "I'm so scary?"

The companion who was still riding a horse not far away urged him: "Vic, it's not like I haven't seen this kind of thing before, what are you doing!"

This kind of stuff?

Such an obvious belittlement made even Le Yang, who thought he was ordinary-looking, a little annoyed when he heard it - he could communicate in Hu, but he still had to speak in Chinese, maybe it was just for him.

These Hu people have probably stayed in Daning for several years, even though the accent is still there, the words used have been localized.

Vic looked at the tall man wearing a veiled hat with great interest, then turned his head and shouted to his companions, "What's the hurry? After riding for so long, don't those two pieces of meat hurt?"

After shouting, he narrowed his eyes, trying to match Le Liyou with the person who appeared in his memory.

Vic put his strong hand on Le Liyou's shoulder, this familiar movement and touch made Le Liyou's stomach queasy.Le Liyou suppressed the nausea, and secretly pulled out the dagger from his sleeve.

The sound of a sharp weapon close to his ear caught Le Yang's attention. Le Yang, who noticed Le Liyou's movement, raised his hand and grabbed Le Liyou's arm, and said in a low voice, "I'm fine, don't make trouble."

Le Yang thought that Le Liyou was trying to protect him—he thought it would be easy to knock down a big man with his bare hands, so he could calmly watch Vic's actions.

Le Liyou stopped drawing the knife, and Le Yang in his arms and Le Yang's hand seemed to be telling him that he was experiencing a real reality, and knowing this, his desire for revenge was even higher.

Vic, who really couldn't figure out this person's face, was about to lift his hood and skirt: "I know you, or you know me, right?" But as soon as he finished speaking, Le Yang hugged Le Liyou's waist, Turning around with Le Liyou, instead of changing positions.Facing Vik, he opened his arms, stood in front of Le Liyou, and said with a stiff smile: "My young master seldom goes out, and his appearance is so outstanding, if we meet each other, it is impossible not to remember. "

"Really?" Vic hesitated.

Such an attitude and such a familiar atmosphere... But with such a body shape, Vic, who thought he would never forget it, really couldn't think of anyone.

Through the white curtain, Le Liyou vaguely saw Vic's appearance. Even though the scene was covered with a large piece of white, the outline of Vic gradually became clearer with the addition of memory.

It was Vic, but it was different from the giant he remembered.

Le Liyou became more confident in revenge, and Le Yang in front of him became the only obstacle for him to strike.

Le Yang said, don't make trouble.

For revenge and to cut off the nightmare, he could die, but he couldn't ignore Le Yang—Le Yang had to return to Hua Qianyu's side safely.

So Le Li endured it, even though his eyes were red with anger, his disgust drilled out along the surface of his tongue, and his hatred crawled from his heart to his limbs, the blade was still hidden in the scabbard.

The moment his left hand was touched by Le Yang's, Le Liyou relaxed his tightened five fingers, allowing Le Yang to hold his hand and pull him up.

Hands are really small, happy to worry about.

Small hands and stature, but such a cute person stands in front of him, always stands in front of him...

Gradually, Le Liyou felt more sadness than resentment, as if he had fallen to the bottom, and even Le Yang's stretched out hand could not save him.

Le Yang didn't pay attention to the weakness coming from Le Liyou's palm, he just wanted to take Le Liyou to escape from the current situation.He smiled at Vic: "Haha, let's go first, and see you later." After finishing speaking, he couldn't wait for Vic to respond. He turned around with Le Liyou, and just after running ten steps, the sound of drawing a sword came in the ear—

Vic pointed his sword at the two of them, raised his eyebrows and said, "Take off your hat."

Seeing that Vik was serious, his companions surrounded the two of them on horseback, blocking their way.

Le Yang, who could not guarantee that he would be able to escape from the siege of the four men on horseback with Le Liyou, let go of Le Liyou's hand, and stood in front of Le Liyou again. With a flattering smile, he looked at Vic Said: "Young master, please do me a favor. My young master has been blind since he was a child, and he also has flaws on his face. He doesn't like to see the light—"

Vic interrupted him: "I'm surprised. Could it kill him just by looking at it?"

Vic's companion booed: "No matter how ugly you are, show it, you are a man, you are afraid of a fart!"

Le Yang sighed: "I can't help it, Li You, let them see it."

Le Liyou was silent for a moment, raised his hand, and while untying the rope on his chin, said: "Later, leave me alone, you run away."

"What about you?" Le Yang was not happy to hear such words.

"Me?" I'll kill him and die.

No one can keep him in the cage anymore.

Le Liyou took off the veil, and when she let go, the veil fell to the ground.

Le Liyou said: "I have something to do, don't hinder me."

Seeing Le Liyou's appearance, Vic was surprised at first, and then turned into joy. He put away his long sword and walked towards Le Liyou.He stared, but couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "Blindness? Defect? ​​Are you kidding me? Tolia, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are still so perfect—even years of dust and dust have not stained your purity! My Tolia." Vic stopped one step away from Le Yang, looking at Le Liyou, as if admiring a work of art.

Le Yang looked at Le Liyou, then at Vic. Seeing that Vic was so enthusiastic, Le Yang felt relieved, and asked with a smile, "Do you know each other?"

Le Yangfang wanted to give up his position to reminisce about the past with the two, but he remembered that Le Liyou seemed to be hostile to this person.He turned his head to look at Le Liyou, and at this time Le Liyou had already put on a smiling face.

Le Liyou pushed Le Yang away, walked up to Vic, and said, "Long time no see."

"Oh?" Vic raised his eyebrows, "It seems that the years of tempering have worn away your edges and corners..."

Le Liyou nodded slightly.

Vic lifted his chin, looked at his face, and asked again: "Sneaked away again? And brought a 'little lady'?"

After confirming that there was no damage, Vic nodded in satisfaction.

Le Liyou explained: "He's different from me." But he didn't refute the "run away".

After Vic cast his eyes on Le Yang, Le Liyou immediately said, "I'll go with you and let him go."

"So active? How important is he?" Vic hugged Le Liyou's waist, and he was half a head shorter than Le Liyou when he stood shoulder to shoulder.

Since Le Liyou is obedient and obedient, it doesn't matter to Vic whether he catches Le Yang or not.

Le Yang's heart turned cold, and the picture in front of him overlapped with the picture he saw in Changxi Courtyard, but the person who stood side by side with Le Liyou at that time was An Qingfeng.

Le Liyou smiled and said, "If I don't take the initiative, you won't take me away?"

Ever since the conversation with Vic, Le Liyou never looked at Le Yang.

Vic nodded in agreement: "Yes, your face alone can cheat a lot of money."

The word "cheat" means that Le Liyou, who Vick knew would not succumb to others, also has an extremely insensitive body.For many buyers, the hard-to-provoke darling lacks interest, but most of these transactions only look at the appearance and don't ask for anything else—although Le Liyou is a bit tall, but finding a rich buyer and exchanging ten gold should be enough Not a problem.

"Hey, Liyou," Le Yang choked up, "What exactly do you want to do?"

As he spoke, he followed Le Liyou, but Le Liyou still didn't look back, and Vic ignored him.

The riders who were curious about Le Liyou's appearance all circled back to their original positions, but they couldn't praise Le Liyou when they saw Le Liyou's face.After a moment of silence, a horse rider sighed: "You can meet your old lover even if you do a business, what kind of luck are you doing?"

"Old lover? Isn't my lover gold?" Vic smiled at his companion, "If you like him, play with him. Be gentle and don't play him badly."

His companions cheered for him.

Vic shook his head helplessly: "It's too early to be happy - the upper mouth of Tolia is cuter than the lower mouth, at least there is a little reaction."

After finishing speaking, he supported Le Liyou's waist and directed Le Liyou to get on the horse, but before Le Liyou lifted his feet, he stopped Le Liyou's movements with a "no".

A horse stood between Le Yang and Le Liyou. Le Yang ventured down the horse's belly, raised his hand and grabbed Le Liyou's sleeve, and said firmly with teary eyes, "I won't!"

He split Vic's hand and pulled Le Liyou behind him——

"No matter what you want to do, I won't allow it!"

Vik took a step back, pressed the arm whose bones seemed to be broken, moved his fingers a few times, shook his hand, and said to Le Yang appreciatively: "Yes, 'little lady'."

The companions got off their horses, showed their weapons, and surrounded them.

"Don't hurt my baby," Vic raised his hand, referring to Le Liyou, but kept his eyes on Le Yang, "If you leave a wound, you won't be able to sell it for a good price."

Le Yang thought that Vick was probably the one who sold Le Liyou to Changxiyuan... He suddenly remembered that when Le Liyou was still trapped in Changxiyuan, he had talked with him about Lan Yuxi's adventure to seek revenge For one thing, at that time, Le Liyou said that even if you die, you will drag your enemy to hell...

Lose your life for revenge?Is there nothing in this world more important than hatred?

"Stupid Liyou," Le Yang sniffed, "Le Yang will help you send him to see the King of Hades—in exchange, you have to live for Le Yang."

Le Yang's words cast balls of warm light on Le Liyou's dark heart. The light balls fell, bounced, and scattered to all parts of the heart...Le Yang should not take risks, but in this warm Now, Le Liyou chose to trust Le Yang, and only said: "Dangerous."

Le Yang pulled out the dagger hidden in his left sleeve, held the knife in his backhand, bent his arms and held it flat in front of him, bent his knees and lowered his center of gravity, ready to go——

"Hmph, it's a trivial matter."
